NGC 2146 -- Spiral Galaxy in Camelopardalis495 viewsNGC 2146 -- Spiral Galaxy in Camelopardalis, captured in Maxim DL with CCD Commander, all reduction and processing in PixInsight with final finish in Photoshop. All data was accidentally taken binned, which is probably OK since the seeing wasn't that great.

NGC 6946 v3746 viewsNGC 6946, a spiral galaxy in Cepheus. Captured with Maxim DL. Calibrated, aligned, combined, and processed in PixInsight, and finished in Photoshop. Reprocessed for better color balance with additional RGB frames taken two months after the original data.

M101 -- The Pinwheel Galaxy612 viewsM101 / NGC 5457, the Pinwheel Galaxy, a spiral galaxy in Ursa Major. Data acquired and reduced in Maxim DL, aligned and stacked in CCDStack 2, processed in PixInsight, and finished in Photoshop. There is some optical aberration, I think from the focal reducer, that distorts the stars, particularly at the top of the frame.

NGC 5033921 viewsNGC 5033 -- Spiral Galaxy in Canes Venatici. Captured with CCDCommander and Maxim DL, reduced and combined in CCDStack, processed in PixInsight, and finished in Photoshop. This dim object (mag 10.8) really needs more exposure time than I have.

M33 with Hydrogen Alpha483 viewsM33- The Triangulum Galaxy, data captured on September 20 and 26, 2008, and September 19, 2009. This is the same image as my earlier M33 Over Two Years but has had 90 minutes of Hydrogen Alpha added to the red in the image. Captured and calibrated in Maxim DL. Aligned and combined in CCDStack. Primary processing in PixInsight with touch-up in Photoshop.

M33 Over 2 Years569 viewsM33- The Triangulum Galaxy, data captured on September 20 and 26, 2008, and September 19, 2009. Captured and calibrated in Maxim DL. Aligned and combined in CCDStack. Primary processing in PixInsight with touch-up in Photoshop.

Deer Lick Group and Stephan's Quintet533 viewsThis image of two galaxy groups in Pegasus is the first image from the new observatory. NGC 7331 is the largest of the two groups. Acquired with ACP and Maxim DL, calibrated in Maxim DL, aligned and stacked in CCDStack, processed in PixInsight and Photoshop.

NGC 2403 -- Spiral Galaxy in Camelopardalis v2465 viewsNGC 2403 -- Spiral Galaxy in Camelopardalis. Image reduction in MaximDL, alignment, sigma clip, and stacking (mean) in CCDStack, color combine and balancing in PixInsight, gradient removal in Photoshop. This is a revised processing of this data. The original processing really did not work well. This is marginally better. The underlying problem is with the data.

M33 -- Triangulum Galaxy V02390 viewsM33 -- The Triangulum Galaxy or Pinwheel Galaxy, a spiral galaxy in Triangulum. LRGB image captured on two nights, reduced in Maxim DL 5, aligned and combined in CCDStack, RGB combined in CCDStack, processed and LRGB combined in PixInsight, final color correction in Photoshop CS2. This is a revised processing of the data.
